This is my homemade body car as the experiment for later on trying to design and build a 1/25 Piper Cub/like model airplane. As you plane guys know there are few 1/25 size kits to work with, and 99% of plastic model airplanes are war planes -- of little interest to me.
So ….. I fashioned this slab sided body, held together by " formers or bulkheads " at the firewall and rear window positions, and used my parts box for everything else. I learned that it is a doable project, but that I must I must get a much better fit of the parts.
It has been probably the most fun model I ever built. It got third in the open wheel comp class at Memphis.
Part brushed part sprayed, some decals and some hand lettering.
Hope you like it.
